After rebirth, she first killed the book thief, and she was busy writing articles to save people

Ten years ago, there were three major literary websites: one that focused on the male section, "Gaowan.com", and two that focused on the female section, "Huayu.com" and "Nanlin.com".

In her previous life, Jiang Baige signed a contract with Huayu.com, one of the leading female-oriented websites.

Even though she is not destined to be a web writer, she was able to sign a contract with a good website.

But the company that was so hard to sign went bankrupt quietly, and even owed Jiang Baige a sum of royalties that was almost enough to withdraw cash, but it still hadn't been paid off.

It's also her fault that she has no experience.

In fact, before the website closed down, her editor often "disappeared" and did not reply to messages. But because the speed of reviewing articles did not change much and the manuscripts were sent out on time, she did not think too much about it.

From the editor's updates, it seemed like they were in love, and she thought that was the reason.

"What are you thinking?"

Wen Mian was afraid that Lin Xingran, who had made many serious suggestions, would be embarrassed, so he reminded Jiang Baige.

Jiang Baige finally came back to her senses: "It's okay. Xingran, I'm not dissatisfied with you just now. You are right. I will change it. I just... hey, I ran into another trouble."

"Li Bingyang came to see you?" Wen Mian's voice suddenly rose an octave, as if the three words "Li Bingyang" were some kind of disaster switch.

Jiang Baige was amused by her: "No, the editor sent me the contract document and reminded me to sign and send it back within 15 working days."

There is no such thing as electronic signature at present, and all contract documents are in paper form.

"Isn't this a good thing?" The other three were puzzled.

Jiang Baige was silent for a while and made up an excuse: "I am still hesitating whether to sign this website. Because if it fails, all my work will be in vain."

Losing the royalties is a small matter; losing readers and having no motivation to continue is a bigger problem.

"How could it fall down..."

Yes, Jiang Baige still can’t figure out why such a good website collapsed!

"If you don't sign the contract, will you be blacklisted?" Zhou Ling was a little worried - this was in line with her future development direction, because later when she took the postgraduate entrance examination, she took the master's degree in law.

"She doesn't even want to write there anymore, and she's afraid of being blacklisted?"

"But she's just worried that the website won't be able to continue, right? What if it does continue and gets better and better, and she regrets it and wants to go back?"

Well, if fate hadn't wanted to play a trick on her again, this wouldn't have happened.

"Actually, I received some inside information... Besides, the website is signed by someone, and the contract is for ten years, which is equivalent to selling it to the company. I don't think it's worth it."

The second half of the sentence is indeed true.

Although "signing people" is easier to maintain a pen name, "signing books" is more friendly to ordinary authors. They don't have to worry about "selling themselves". If the book is really popular, they can also become "signing people".

"Now that you've made up your mind, why are you still hesitating?"

Lin Xingran once again hit the nail on the head.

——Because of one person.

In her previous life, although the website went bankrupt and she abandoned her online writing career because she hastily finished her first book, she met a good friend after signing the contract: Linlang.

After signing the contract, Jiang Baige was pulled into the group of authors, and Linlang was also there.

Linlang was already considered a god-level author at that time. She had been writing for many years and had published many books. She was a resident writer for Huayu.com.

The most amazing thing about her is that she never has a "window period". After finishing her old book, she will start a new book within a month. She can be found on the bestseller list, subscription list, completion list, new book list, and author list.

Therefore, even though she knew that Linlang was in the same group as herself, she did not dare to take the initiative to hook up with her.

At the beginning, because I was a newcomer, Jiang Baige would ask for some tips on posting, such as the frequency of updates, how to interact with readers, etc.

On weekends, people are more free and more people reply. On weekdays, many people have to go to work and don't have time to respond to her.

But Linlang is almost always online. As long as she sees a question, she will reply, and she is very detailed and not condescending at all.

Over time, the two became familiar with each other.

But not long after, Jiang Baige discovered that some people in the group liked to form cliques and put down the powerful and praise the weak, but what she hated most was that male authors were "treated like treasures" in the group.

Once, everyone held a typing competition. Jiang Baige was obviously the fastest writer, but because there was a male author also participating, everyone said that the male author was first.

The so-called "reward" is nothing more than other authors participating in the competition going to the first place's novel page to leave messages and send gifts (the gifts can also be obtained for free). Jiang Baige doesn't care at all.

She simply hated the "male-licking and female-hating" culture and had an argument with several authors who were particularly male-loving in the group. She even quit the group in anger.

Before she had even calmed down, she received a friend reminder from Linlang.

The two of them had mostly chatted in the group before, but they had also had a few casual private conversations, and Linlang added her through that.

Linlang didn't say anything to comfort her, she just said: Just write your own novel well, everything else is empty talk.

The friendship continued like this.

Unlike Jiang Baige who is still a student, Linlang has been working for several years but is not happy with her job, so after her online writing income became stable, she resigned and became a freelancer.

Later, the website went bankrupt, and editors from other websites also contacted Linlang.

But at that time, she had just bought a house with a loan and really needed money. The income from online writing was unstable, so she mainly wrote commercial articles. After online writing became a sideline, she was cheated of her royalties by a new website, and unexpectedly ended up in the same way as Jiang Baige - she no longer wrote online articles.

But Jiang Baige was reluctant to part with this friend, not because he wanted to take advantage of the "great god".

But every time Jiang Baige was short of money, Linlang would introduce her to a job writing commercial articles so that she would at least not starve to death.

Linlang also expressed her desire to come back and write online articles.

But like Jiang Baige, she was also under pressure from life and did not dare to make mistakes easily. Until Jiang Baige's sudden death, she did not see Linlang return to the online literature world.

Compared to someone like Li Bingyang who deliberately had a "common language" with her just to take advantage of her, Linlang's resonance with her and her love for online literature and writing were real.

So this time, since she had the chance to start over, she also wanted to help Linlang.

But if she doesn't sign the contract, she will never meet Linlang again... Of course, she can also pretend to be a reader, but will Linlang consult her when she is in doubt?

"Hey--"

Jiang Baige sighed heavily.

She really didn't understand why she was so conflicted even though she had the correct answer in her hands?

At this time, Wen Mian spoke - she also usually read some online articles for leisure.

"Xiao Bai, if you want to change websites, don't you hurry up? You still have to post again and apply for a contract. If you have enough time, you can go back to this website if it doesn't work. If you keep dragging it out, by then the other website won't work and the contract deadline for this website has passed, then it will be all in vain."
